Some mainboards still have it.
On my momboard, which I bought a few years ago, the header is there but no connector on the back. That wouldn't be hard to make for someone who's technically inclined. BTW, I as I mentioned earlier, I'm rereading "The Cuckoo's Egg", by Clifford Stoll. There's one part there where he's getting a bunch of printers, to copy the attacker's traffic. I was sitting there thinking why not connect to serial ports and have the computer log the traffic, instead of wasting all that paper. Way back in the 80s, which is the period this book is written about, I was connecting serial ports to data circuits for monitoring purposes. Easy to do. All you need is serial ports and those mini-computers generally had several. We even had dedicated test sets to capture data and display on 2 lines at a time, one for each direction, for full duplex connections. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
